CHAPTER 2
"Shantelle Miller?" Shantelle heard her name but it sounded distinct but she could recognized the person's voice to be her teacher.
She felt a light tap on her shoulder and that was when she got back to her senses. Shantelle had zoned out from the classroom as the math teacher taught them. Her mind had wandered off that she didn't hear her teacher calling out to her.
"Yes ma'am." She answered immediately and got up from her seat, the whole class bursted into a roaring laughter. The way she had stood up was quite funny. Shantelle felt really embarrassed that she had to lower her head to the floor and bit on her lower lip – she does that when she's embarrassed or nervous."You just zoned out Shantelle? What happened? What are you thinking of?" The math teacher asked softly. She didn't yell at her or scold her because she knew Shantelle – she wasn't the type to loose concentration in class except she's in deep thoughts.
"Nothing ma'am, nothing really." She said timidly and tucked in few strands of hair behind her ear. "See me after class." The math teacher said while she nodded her head.
Shantelle Miller is the younger sister of Amelia, the only sibling she has. Shantelle is in her final year in high school and in a few months time, she'd be graduating and going to college. Recently, she's been so down and always zone out whenever she's in the class. There's something definitely wrong with her and she would make sure she gets to the root of it by asking her some questions, the teacher thought as she walked back to the board.

" Um...I didn't kiss anyone, why would you think like that." Nick faked being angry and pained about her accusation.
"Then, how can you explain the taste of your lips?" She asked and folded her arms under her boobs, staring so closely at Nick. "And don't think I didn't see that, that secretary of yours cleavage was popping out." She rolled her eyes and got up from his thigh.
Nick was really speechless and confused. How exactly was he gonna handle the situation.
"You know what, get out of my office! Just because you're my fiancee doesn't mean you should be interrogating my personal life. I told you I didn't kiss anyone but you're still insisting and bringing out your different findings – it's my life okay? Leave now, I've got what to do!" He ranted, almost yelling but he knew he couldn't yell at her."Fine! I'm leaving! Wait till mom hears about this." She scoffed. She picked up her hand bag and walked out of his office, slamming the door shut like she has issue with the door.
"Phew! That was so close. Another lengthy talk with mom." He chuckled softly and scoffed. He picked up a file on his desk and started going through it.
He knows that Alice has this suspicions on Amelia anytime she comes to the office – she feels that something is going on between them.
He laughed and shook his head at the thought.....
"Where's that god-damned secretary of Nick!" Alice yelled as soon as she got to the lobby. Some of the office workers were around, doing one thing or the other while the receptionist was just sitting at her front desk."Everybody suddenly turned as they heard her voice. Everybody knew the possessive and bossy fiancee of their boss. They always avoid getting on her toes when she's around."Now, they wondered what Amelia might have done. "I said where's that god-damned girl!" Alice yelled again. Amelia wasn't sitting on her desk which was in Nick's office – a glass door demarcated between Nick's office and hers. But since she came, she hasn't seen Amelia. Wasn't she supposed to be in her office working on some files or whatever? Alice thought angrily.
"I'm here." Amelia walked in from the entryway and made her way to meet Alice. She walked with confidence and she wasn't fidgeting. The other workers had stopped what they were doing and turned to stare at the scene.
Before anyone or even Amelia could know what was going on, Alice slapped Amelia hard across her face – making everyone gasped in surprise.Alice walked closer to meet her and pulled her roughly by her hair. Amelia wasn't done getting out of the shock of being slapped, now her hair was being roughly pulled.
Her scalp was hurting and she managed to let out a silent wince. "Let go of me! Let go of my hair!" Amelia winced as she held the root of her hair so it wouldn't hurt very well."You whore! Slutty girl! Stay away from my fiancee, stay away from NICK." Alice yelled – she literally spelt out the Nick.
She pushed Amelia hard and roughly and not expecting the sudden push, Amelia fell and passed out."What?" Some of the office workers gasped as they saw what had just happened. Alice was in shock and as she stared at the unconscious Amelia, she looked like someone who an evil spirit just left her body.
"Oh my goodness!" She covered her mouth with her hands in surprise. She didn't mean for it to happen but what was she expecting when she had pushed her hard.Just then, Nick walked to where they where – he looked really pissed and Amelia's best friend Clara was standing beside him, glaring daggers at Alice.
"You can leave." Nick told Alice calmly – but it sounded dangerous to Alice: dangerously calm. She knew she was in a whole lot of trouble.
She must nodded her head and hurriedly walked out of the lobby, going towards the exit.
Nick carried Amelia in his arms and started out of the company while everybody gasped, surprise at the action.He carried her like she weighed nothing. He got outside and one of his close bodyguards wanted to carry Amelia from him but he shook his negatively. He placed her in his car and zoomed off. He doesn't care if he's got lots of work to do, Amelia's health matters a lot to him.
......
"She'd be fine sir. She fainted because of shock, she'll be awake anytime from now." The doctor said with a convincing smile. "Okay, thank you doctor Ramsey." Nick smiled in gratitude and they both shook hands."You're welcome Nick." He nodded his head and walked out of Amelia's ward. Amelia woke up with an headache. She looked around and was confused on where she was. She noticed that the room smelled of drugs and antiseptic and her guess was that she was in a hospital. She turned around and her eyes met with Nick's who was sitting beside her and staring at her.
"Hey, you're awake. How are you feeling?" Nick asked with concern in his voice. "I'm feeling better." She winced a little as she tried to seat up. Nick tried to help her up and in the process, his hand brushed lightly against her boobs. Amelia eyes widened as she stared at him.
"Um...I'm sorry. I didn't do that purposely." Nick found himself apologizing with a nervous light chuckle.
"Yeah." Amelia said in a small voice. She felt really bashful – not like be hasn't fondled with her boobs and sucked them but she still felt bashful.Amelia tried to remember what made her land in the hospital. "Oh!" She nodded her head on remembrance.
"What happened? What did you do to Alice that made her push you." Nick suddenly asked, clearing the awkaed tension between them. "What do you mean what I did to her? You know I'm not a trouble type of person." She scoffed and folded her arms under her boobs."She told me to stay away from you." She rolled her eyes at him. "Like we have anything going on between us." She said sarcastically.
"I should have known." He sighed."Since you're fine, let's go back to the office, there are lots of unfinished works." He said and stood stood up. Amelia followed suit and stood up. She straightened her skirt and quickly ran her hand through her hair.They both walked towards the car. They got to where he had parked his car and they both entered.
Unknowingly to Amelia, Nick wanted to wear her seatbelt for her, she turned to face Nick but Nick's lips ended up landing on hers. She widened her eyes in shock.Nick was surprised too, he didn't mean to kiss her – how was he to know that she was gonna turn swiftly?He pulled away from the kiss but he was still in the same position. They both stared intently at each other with none of them ready to break the eye contact.There was sudden sexual tension in the air and Amelia was suddenly becoming hot."Why are you blushing? Are you sick?" Nick asked, breaking the silence between them – surprised to see her face all red. It wasn't the first time he saw her blush in fact, he has seen her multiple times but on most occasion is when they make out or when he kisses or even flirt with her.Amelia felt embarrassed. She quickly turned her face and looked away.
"Hey, um..." Nick didn't know exactly what to say. He cleared his throat and brought her face to look at him. She did and lips were in a pout. Amelia gulped down nothing as she stared at him lick his lips. Geez! It was a turn on for her. She found her cheeks going hot again.What is he doing to her? Before Nick could make a move, Amelia placed her lips on his and closed her eyes. Nick was utterly surprised and taken aback. She has never made the first move to kiss him. His eyes widened in sheer surprised.
Is this Amelia or her twin?
Amelia suddenly felt bad because he wasn't kissing her back. As she made to pull away, Nick grabbed her butt and deepened the kiss, taking absolute control over the kiss.Amelia melted into the kiss and kissed him back.CHAPTER 3"Ma'am?" Shantelle knocked lightly on the door of her math teacher's door. "Yeah? come in." Miss Danielle, her math teacher replied. She opened the door and walked in. Her office was not very big but it wasn't tight either. It was very warm and the air was fresh and relaxing. There was a huge tree just beside her window outside and that brought in cool breeze inside the office.There were some books on her desk and two swivel chairs in them. "Come over here Shantelle, come and seat." She beckoned on her to seat. Shantelle nodded her head and sat on one of the chairs."So ma'am, you said I should see you after class." Shantelle said with a light smile. "What's happening to you lately Shan? You weren't like this – I've taken notice and you started zoning out just a week ago. Is everything alright?" Miss Danielle asked soothingly. She looked really disturbed and wanted to know what was wrong with her and maybe, proffer some help to her.
CHAPTER 4Shantelle washed the dishes and cleaned the house after she had gotten back from school. School had been boring because she wasn't always paying attention. She didn't quite even understand why she's been feeling really strange these past few days.She cooked dinner and set her sister's dinner. She took hers to her room and ate.When she was done, she did her project works and watch a soap opera in her laptop.Soon later, she was bored and tired of waiting for her sister to return, she finally fell asleep on the couch in the sitting room.*****"What the hell!" Lia yelled crazily while Nick laughed. "Why would you say such a thing?" She added, clearly shocked.She didn't even know how she's gonna react. She was expecting him to say such words. How will her best friend even take that shocking confession."What? Why are you reacting as if I told the biggest lie in history. I just helped you out okay?" Nick didn't see anything
CHAPTER 5"What!" Nick yelled. "That is absolutely not happening grandma." He added."Really? Are you going to disobey me because of your secretary? Are you really gonna take sides with your secretary and not your fiancee that you're gonna spend the rest of your life with someday? And go against I, your mother? Huh Nick!" Grandma Nadia was suddenly feeling so vexed.She didn't expect Nick to argue with her or go against her. Whatever she was doing, it was for his sake – for his own advantage.Alice could not help but smile where she sat, she was loving everything that was happening. She had known that grandma Nadia would work in her favour and that is the reason she loved the old woman so much. "Calm down grandma, I don't mean it that way. I would never disobey you grandma and you know it." Nick sighed despondently."Then, you have to fire your secretary and replace her with another person that wouldn't give Alice problems in yo
CHAPTER 6"Your best wasn't enough miss Miller. You know what? I'm fed up with your incompetency, you're fired!" Nick spat out the words at her. Lia placed her hands akimbo and laughed. "What are you talking about Nick? I've worked for you as long as I can remember and now you want to fire me? What do exactly sir Nick?" Amelia was asked.She found it really unbelievable to have heard what her boss had just said."You don't question whatever my decisions are and I'm the boss here and I make decisions." Nick yelled at her.It hurt inside of him because he didn't mean to yell at her or make her feel bad. This was all Alice's fault and he it made him really vexed."Really boss? After working my ass every single day?" Lia felt like she was going to break down in tears any moment. "You should take every of your stuffs and leave this company as soon as possible. I will send you this month's salary. Have a ni
CHAPTER 7Suddenly, she couldn't feel the rain on her body anymore. She looked up and found an umbrella over her head and when she turned around, she was surprised by whom she saw that actually protected her from getting drenched by the rain. A cute and handsome man was holding an umbrella over Lia's head.Lia was surprised because she doesn't know the man and she didn't understand why he was helping her when she was sure he didn't know her too."Hi, I'm Tyrian. I was just coming out from the shopping mall just by the road side when I saw you standing under the rain all by yourself. So, I decided to come help you, hope you don't mind?" The guy told her, clearing the questions she had in her mind."Oh! That is so kind of you Tyrian. I don't mind at all," Lia smiled at Tyrian."Why are you standing under the rain?" Tyrian asked with a worried look. "Well,
CHAPTER 8"So what are you doing with this brown carton?" Tyrian asked as they hit the road. The atmosphere in the car was quiet and awkward as neither of them said anything or tried to even start a conversation.Lia blinked her eyes twice and shrugged. "Well, I just got fired from the company I used to work." Lia replied, clutching on the carton closely to her chest. Tyrian chuckled softly at her behaviour. "Oh! So sorry about that." He said with a small smile."It's fine. Thank you for your concern but I'll be fine." Lia said.And the rest of the ride was quiet."Thanks for the ride Tyrian, I'm really grateful." Lia smiled at Tyrian as he pulled in, in front of her apartment. "You're welcome miss." Tyrian smiled at her. Lia opened the door of the car and alighted from it."Miss? You didn't tell me your name." Tyrian called out as Lia made to go into her apartment. "Uh...
CHAPTER 9Nick got to the clubhouse and it was buzzing with life. Everywhere was bright because of the different colors of light that were hung outside. The loud music was almost ear deafening but it sounded really nice. Nick slipped his both hands inside his pair of trousers pockets, he exhaled deeply before walking into the bar.The bar was filled with people – young boys, girls and adults. Some of them were dancing to the music playing in the background while some were seated in a table talking and drinking. He walked over to where the bartender stood and ordered for his drink. "Tequila please." He told the barman. The barman nodded his head and walked away.As Nick drank alone like he was frustrated, he caught a glimpse of three girls that looked very familiar. He didn't want to think that he was actually seeing the right thing. He rubbed his eyes to make sure it wasn't the alcohol t
CHAPTER 10"Wait Lia, you mean Nick your boss fired you without any good reason?" Shantelle was almost yelling in anger. After dinner, both sisters sat at the balcony of their apartment, talking about how their day went. Lia literally tells Shantelle everything that happens at her work place as they are very close and Shantelle in turn, tells her sister everything too."Exactly! I don't know exactly what I did for him to have just fired me after all my dedicated hardwork and years I put in that company. He knows I won't get a job pretty soon and that's what is more painful." Lia sighed and gazed up at the dark sky. Shantelle moved closer to her on the bench they both sat and placed her hands on Lia's."You don't have to worry too much Lia. Nick is a dick to have fired a competent person like you, I know how much you work hard every day just to make sure everything's good in the office. And you know one thin
